About Decaying Soil
Decaying Soil, Enchantment, designed by Don Hazeltine first released in Oct, 2001 in the set Odyssey. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.69. It's a key card in 4 combos.
This card would benefit a deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and sacrificing creatures, such as a Black sacrifice deck or a Golgari graveyard strategy. While Decaying Soil offers a unique ability to return creatures to your hand, there are more efficient cards like Phyrexian Reclamation or Grave Pact that provide similar effects without the upkeep cost, making them better options for competitive play. However, for a casual or themed deck centered around graveyard interactions, Decaying Soil could still be a fun and flavorful inclusion.
Rules
10/04/04
Multiple creatures going to the graveyard at the same time all end up there at once, so either all of them or none of them will cause the trigger to go off, depending on whether or not Threshold was met prior to the creatures going to the graveyard.
